Stripping HTML tags of an external site

Hi,

I'm writing a Palm Pilot portal that allows users to see the Palm Pilotized version of any website. Basically, they input a URL and ALL HTML tags except for <br>,<p>, and <a...></a> get stripped. What I'm doing now is this:
$content = get $url;
#$content =~ s/<style.*?/style>//gi;
#$content =~ s/<!.*?>//gi;
#$content =~ s/<br>/--break--/gi;
#$content =~ s/<p>/--break-- --break--/gi;
#$content =~ s/<a/--startlink--/gi;
#$content =~ s/</a>/--endlink--/gi;
#$content =~ s/<.*?>//g;
#$content =~ s/--startlink--/<a/gi;
#$content =~ s/--endlink--/</a>/gi;
#$content =~ s/--break--/<br>/gi;

but the problem I run into w/ that is that the stuff between style and script tags isn't being removed and it doesn't really look good.

Any suggestions?

remember that . matches everything except newline characters, so, it may be that it's not getting stripped for that reason.

Instead of /gi, use /gis and newlines will be included.
